WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Personal injury could occur.
Ensure all power is disconnected before
installing or servicing this equipment.
These instructions are intended to assist in the understanding of the installation and operation of
the FTA1100. Read through these instructions thoroughly prior to connecting the controller. If there
are any questions unanswered in these instructions, please contact the local Firetrol representative
or factory service department.
INTRODUCTION
Firetrol® FTA1100 combined automatic and manual diesel engine fi re pump controllers are intended
for starting and monitoring fi re pump diesel engines. They are available for use with 12 or 24 volt
negative ground systems using lead acid or Nickel-Cadmium batteries. FTA1100 fi re pump controllers
are listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., in accordance with UL218, Standard for Fire Pump Control-
lers, CSA, Standard for Industrial Control Equipment (cUL), and approved by Factory Mutual. They are
built to meet or exceed the requirements of the approving authorities as well as NEMA and the latest
editions of NFPA 20, Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps, and NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.
MOUNTING CONTROLLER—
Note—Consult the appropriate job plans to determine controller mounting location. Controller must
be mounted within view of the engine.
Tools and Materials (all mounting):
1. Assortment of common hand tools of the type used to service electromechanical equipment.
2. Hole (conduit) punch.
3. Drill for drilling wall/fl oor anchor holes.
4. Hand level.
5. Tape measure.
6. Four (4) anchors with bolts and washer—if wall mount. Six (6) anchors, bolts and washers—if fl oor/
base mount.
Wall Mount—
Procedure—
1. Locate bottom mounting brackets and hardware.
2. Inspect for damage.
3. Gently lay the controller on its back, using protection so the paint is not damaged. It is best to lay
the controller in a location that is out of the way from actual mounting location.
4. Attach each bracket to the bottom of the enclosure using the supplied hardware . Tighten nuts
securely.
WARNING
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Controller cannot stand upright with the bottom
mounting brackets attached. Leave laying on its
back until the wall anchors are ready for controller
Note—Refer to the controller dimension drawing for necessary mounting dimensions.
The controller is wall mounted by using four (4) wall anchors, 2 anchors for the top ears and 2
anchors for the bottom mounting brackets. The ears and brackets are dimensionally on the same
center-line for ease in mounting.
installation.

5. Using either the dimension print or by measuring the distance between the center lines of the 2
lower bracket slots, transcribe this dimension onto the wall. Note: The bottom edge of the en-
closure should be a minimum of 12” (305 mm.) from the fl oor in case fl ooding of the pump room
occurs.
6. Drill and put 2 anchors into the wall for the 2 lower bracket slot mounts.
7. Mark on the wall, the location of the holes in the upper mounting ears.
8. Drill and put 2 anchors into wall for the upper mounts.
9. Install bolts and washers in 2 lower anchors, leaving a gap between the washer and wall.
10. Lift the controller and place the bottom mounting slots down onto the 2 lower anchor bolts. Do
not tighten bolts.
11. Align holes in upper mounting ears and install 2 bolts and washers in anchors.
12. Shim anchors as necessary to ensure rear of enclosure is vertically level and enclosure is not
stressed. Tighten all 4 anchor bolts.
13. Check to be sure enclosure door opens and closes freely and that enclosure is level.
Floor/Base Plate Mount—
Procedure–
MOUNTING LEGS (OPTIONAL - IF ORDERED)
Procedure—
1. Unpack legs and mounting hardware.
2. Inspect legs for damage.
3. Gently lay the controller on its back, using protection so the paint is not damaged. It is best to lay
the controller in a location that is out of the way from actual mounting location.
4. Attach each leg to the bottom of the enclosure using the provided hardware . Tighten nuts se-
curely.
5. After legs are securely attached, stand the controller up on its legs for mounting. Each leg has 3
holes on the bottom for anchoring to the fl oor or base plate.
WARNING
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Controller is not free standing! Controller must be
secured to floor or wall surface before opening
Note—Consult the appropriate job plans to determine controller mounting location.
Refer to the controller dimension print for necessary mounting dimensions.
The controller is fl oor/base plate mounted by using the 3 pre-drilled holes in each leg. The holes
are dimensionally on the same center line for ease in mounting.
6. Using either the dimension print or by measuring distance between the center lines of the holes
on one leg, transcribe these dimensions onto the fl oor/base plate.
7. Drill 3 holes in fl oor/base plate for anchoring the leg.
8. Mark location of holes for opposite leg and drill 3 more holes.
9. Secure controller to fl oor/base plate with bolts and washers and tighten.
10. Check to be sure enclosure door opens freely and that enclosure is level.
MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Important Precautions—
Prior to making any fi eld connections:
1. Open door of enclosure and inspect internal components and wiring for any signs of frayed or
loose wires or other visible damage.
door or operating.
2
2. Verify that the controller information is what is required on the project:
• Firetrol catalog number
• Engine voltage and polarity of grounding
• Incoming line voltage and frequency
• Maximum system pressure
3. Project electrical contractor must supply all necessary wiring for fi eld connections in accordance
with the National Electrical Code, local electrical code and any other authority having jurisdic-
tion.
4. Refer to the appropriate fi eld connection drawing for wiring information.
Procedure—
All engine connections, remote alarm functions and AC wiring must be brought into the enclosure at the bottom. (See dimension drawing for exact location). A gland plate is supplied for ease of
installation.
Proceed as follows:
1. Use a hole (conduit) punch, not a torch nor a drill, and punch a hole in the gland plate for the size
conduit being used.
2. Install necessary conduit.
Warning—Use only gland plate for conduit entrance. Controller warranty is VOID if any other
location is used.
Note—All fi eld wiring connections are connected to terminal blocks located in the controller.
Terminals for interconnection to the corresponding numbered terminals on the engine terminal
block are located between the circuit breakers (CB1, AC power and CB2-CB3, battery connections).
Not all engines require all terminals to be connected. Reference engine wiring diagram and Field
Connection Diagram for appropriate information. Other terminals are for connecting remote
alarm functions and optional features are located on the controller relay board(s).
AC line connections are made to terminals L1 and L2 (1CB). A ground lug, marked “G” is provided
for grounding. This AC circuit should come from a source having a circuit breaker sized in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code and other local codes.
3. Pull all wires necessary for engine connections, remote alarm functions, AC power and all other
optional features. Allow enough excess wire inside enclosure to make up connections to the ter-
minal block. Be sure to consult the appropriate fi eld connection diagram. Make sure AC Circuit
Breaker (CB1) and Battery Circuit Breakers (CB2, CB3) are turned “Off”.
Warning—Do not use controller wire way for routing external wiring.
Wire Sizes—
• Use #14 AWG wire minimum for all electrical connections except for battery charger connec-
tions. (Battery chargers connected to terminals 6, 8, and 11.)
• On terminals 6, 8, and 11, use the following information to determine wire sizes:
Linear feet (in conduit run)
from controller to terminal
Maximum
Wire Size
block on engine

0’ to 25’ (0 to 7.62 m.)
25’ to 50’ (7.62 m. to 15.24 m.)
#10 AWG (6 mm
#8 AWG (10 mm2)
)
4. Make all fi eld connections to remote alarm functions and any other optional features.
5. Verify AC line voltage and frequency with the controller data plate on the enclosure door prior to
energizing AC power.
